What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Habitable townhouse at €1000/m2 sits above the town median of €633/m2 (~58% premium), but the price includes 2000 m2 of surrounding land plus cellar, garage and heating, which justifies part of the premium. Fresh listing (6 days), 32 photos, and 1960 build in decent condition. Description hints at customization needed ('personalizzare gli ambienti'), so budget ~€400/m2 for cosmetic updates. Missing energy class and sea distance. Baseline is solid but rural pricing is variable, so treat premium with caution. Reasonable but not a standout deal.
More on the house and the area
Detached stone house in Collepardo (Lazio) with authentic rustic character—natural stone walls, terracotta roof, and mature cedar trees on a 2000 sqm plot. Strong mountain and valley views frame the setting, and the traditional stonework gives real historic appeal. At €1000/sqm it's affordable, but the appeal is largely exterior and setting; no interior photos are provided so livability is unconfirmed. Charming countryside retreat rather than a jaw-dropper.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
Our read of the photos, €400/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€9,000 – €16,000
Wiring, water and sanitary work of any kind, heating, air conditioning and gas go to a registered firm by law, and so do flues and the air openings for gas appliances. That labour stays in the bill. Yours is the stripping out, plaster, paint, floors, tiling and carpentry.
Labour is 61% of a renovation price on average and 67% at the median, across 191 items of the Emilia-Romagna 2025 public price list. Materials are the rest. An averaged price list, not a quote.
Materials you buy yourself carry 22% VAT; supplied by the firm doing the work they go at the 10% renovation rate. On a €30,000 materials bill that is €3,600 of extra tax.
Household wiring installed before 13 March 1990 counts as compliant if it has a main breaker with overcurrent protection, protection against direct contact and a 30 mA RCD. Having a firm bring the existing wiring up to that and certify it is the cheapest lawful route.

Estimate from the listing and its photos, not a survey. Treat it as the starting point for your own quotes. An Italian builder's quote is normally written without VAT and without design fees, so add about a quarter to any figure a firm gives you.
